Dual System Of Training
BACKGROUND:
The objective of the DST scheme is to enable industries and establishments to partner with Government and Private ITIs for conducting training programs under high employability courses to fulfill their skilled manpower requirements.
The DST is an amalgamation of theoretical training imparted through ITIs and practical training provided by industries. DST helps strengthen industry linkages and provides hands-on experience to students on the latest technologies used in the industry.
Under the DST scheme, the courses are conducted to meet the skilled workforce requirements of industries so that after completion of training, trainees who are awarded the National Trade Certificate (NTC) under the scheme have an edge over regular ITI pass-outs in terms of employability and job opportunities.
With the vision of strengthening industry linkages and acquainting ITI students with the latest technologies used in industries, DGT encourages ITIs to participate in the DST program to make their trainees industry-ready.
